Collections
Our ethnological work draws on the museum’s extensive collections, which are focussed on Austrian and European culture and folk art. Over 300,000 objects, an archive, and an extensive library of specialist literature – all of which are expanded on a continual basis – feed our research and exhibitions. We also consider it important to deal critically with our institution’s history, for which reason we actively research the provenance of collection items.
